Every Morning

Good Morning,

Every morning (during the weekdays) I ride the bus to work. I take the same bus almost every day. The number 3. If I am lucky Cam will take the bus with me half way. I see the same people almost everyday. I call them the regulars. There is a lady who sits in her designated seat and keeps her bag beside her so no one can sit there till one of her fellow bus mates gets on later on down the road. Then there is this other man who sits right up front so that he can talk to the bus driver about who knows what. It is painful to listen to this man some mornings, thank goodness for my nano. There are many other people who are regulars as well. This morning was a heart warming moment for me on the bus. There is this man who takes the bus every morning to work I would assume. He isn't a business man or anything like that I think he is more a labourer, lower income kind of individual who may be in his 50s. A very nice man from what I have gathered from taking the bus with him for months. He waves and says hi to all the kids on the bus and chats with different people all the time. There is a mother who rides the bus most mornings with her baby in a stroller, and her daughter can walk on her own. When they get to their stop the bus driver gets out and helps this lady with the stroller down the steps. Then the mother comes back to the bus and grabbes the little girl from the bus, and as she swings her from the bus the little girl says "weeeeeeeee!!!!" it is very cute. This is a morning ritual for them and it usually puts a smile on most peoples faces. This morning he got on the bus, and sat beside the mother. As the mother and the little girl, and baby were getting off the bus the girl paused and gave this man a huge hug :o) This was such a precious thing to see seen as it is Friday the 13th and all. I am having a great day because of them. It always amazes me how non prejudice young children can be.
